Ever since I returned from France, I have a constant craving of good bread. I mean French baguettes, European-style bread, not the crap they sell here. I went so far as to buy a bread maker and experiment with it, with pretty good results.

Still, this morning I managed to find the real thing. I ran across a small bakery in Dumbo on Yelp name Almondine and decided to try it. The baguette was exactly like the ones I had in France, probably because the baker/owner is French. I also tried the almond croissant – since it was so highly praised on Yelp – and I have to say it’s probably the best croissant I had in my life. It sucks the place it’s a bit out of the way for me, but I’m sure I’ll go there again.

After two weeks of (some) processing and uploading, here they are: http://cristianradu.smugmug.com/Vacation/Trip-to-Europe. For some reason SmugMug lists them in the reverse chronological order, so you might want to start from the bottom. Enjoy!

Tomorrow I’m starting my 17-days-long vacation in Europe. I’ll be visiting Paris, Libourne (in the south of France), then Barcelona and Valencia in Spain and finally stop by for two days in Bucharest. See you all soon!
